Endodontics

Quality Makes The Difference

Root canal treatment in Dubai from experienced experts

Endodontics refers to treatment of the tooth that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and protection of infections in the pulp of the tooth. Endodontic treatments are designed to eliminate any infection that takes place in the pulp, allowing the tooth to continue functioning normally.

Located beneath the enamel and dentin are soft tissues that contain blood vessels and nutritional supplies of the tooth, known as the pulp. Due to some reasons, the pulp may get infected and severely inflamed. When this happens, a treatment where the infected pulp gets extracted becomes necessary in order to stop the spread of infection to the underlying tissue and prevent further damage.

When should you consider getting root canal treatment from a specialist

Some of the common causes for pulp infections include:

Untreated tooth decays for prolonged periods

Dental injury

Bruxism (habitual teeth grinding)

Tooth discolorations

Tenderness and acute pain during normal activities such as chewing

Our root canal specialist in Dubai: Providing world-class dental treatment for a higher quality of life

If you are in need of root canal treatment in Dubai, trust Dubai Sky Clinic to provide you with world-class quality dental care. Our endodontists are dental surgeons who are capable of performing endodontic treatments on. The role of endodontists, or root canal specialists, is to diagnose and cure the infection of the pulp before it becomes worse or widespread. Their areas of expertise include treatment of complex root canals, retreatment and endodontic surgery.

However, the most common type of endodontic non-surgical procedure is a root canal treatment. It requires drilling down the enamel to access the infected pulp and extract it to prevent further infection. In severe infections, advanced invasive surgical procedures will be required. Apicoectomy is a surgical procedure that targets the dental roots and soft tissue matter located underneath the tooth.

Scrutinising the Treatment Under The Microscope

Inside a tooth, under the enamel and the dentin, the soft tissue is known as the pulp. It extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the roots. An extraction becomes necessary when the soft tissue inside the root canal becomes infected.

Causes Of Infection
The blood and nerve supply of the tooth (pulp/soft tissue) may be infected due to various reasons. Some of the most common causes are untreated deep decay, crack in the tooth, teeth grinding for prolong durations or injury to the tooth.

Symptoms Of Infection
Common symptoms for inflammation of the pulp include sensitivity to cold and hot, tenderness when touched, and pain during chewing, swelling and discolouration of the tooth. If the infection is left untreated, it may spread throughout the entire system of the tooth and eventually lead to tooth loss.

The Procedure

Our procedure for extraction in Dubai begins by providing a local anaesthetic to the impacted area. Thereafter, the endodontist removes the infection or bacteria from the root canal system. Once removed, the endodontist will clean and shape the inside of the tooth thus fills in. Finally, the tooth is sealed with a filling or a restoration material such as a crown.

Our modern endodontic treatments in Dubai make it possible to save a tooth that has a diseased pulp due to inflammation or infection. By means of microscopic root canal treatment in Dubai, even teeth that have irreversibly damaged nerves can be saved and preserved, thus returning the bone to normal.

Teeth can have up to three roots, where one to three root canals can be found. These are where pulp is contained. Furthermore, some of these canals are as thin as a hair. For the treatment to be successful it is essential to detect any infection or inflammation in all of the root canals and treat them as quickly as possible.

One of the most innovative developments in endodontics is the operating microscope, which allows extreme magnification. It enables identification and treatment of even minute structures and problem areas. As a result, pain can be significantly reduced and long-term, excellent results achieved.
